Dinner conversation

[erinkenny 7]

I've been on Optifast for 2 1/2 weeks now - with no cheating. That doesn't mean I haven't thought about it, but darn it I know what I'm working towards and I can do it!

I have, however, had wicked cravings and tonight was REALLY, REALLY hungry and just wasn't paying attention until my husband brought it up. It went something like this:

Husband: "Dear, what are you staring at?"

Me: "Huh?"

Husband: "Dear, stop staring."

Me: "What?"

Clinton (our 17 yr old): "Stop it, mom"

Me: "What?"

Husband: "You're staring at his dinner and it's not helping."

Me (looking up): "Who says it's not helping?"

Husband: "Go have a popsicle"

Me: " I don't want a frigging popsicle! I want a cheeseburger!" (they were eating tacos, so it wasn't really relevant)

Husband : "Then go have a cold shower." (it's stinking hot and humid here right now, which makes me headachey and cranky)

Me: "I don't want a cold shower"

Husband: "Well if you don't pick something soon I'm going to get a popsicle for you and stick it somewhere ELSE for you"

<sigh>

I didn't say I wasn't a challenge for them while on Optifast. The aspartame gives me a perpetual headache and the weather has been obnoxious for the past week. At least I have less than a week to go until surgery and at least we all got a laugh out of this tonight.

I can soooo relate. I am nearing the end of 2 weeks of Optifast and for 2 days all I could think of was Arby's! I have not cheated either but had quite a pity party. My poor husband has been eating on the deck in 90 degree weather. I got all upset bc he grilled out the other day and did not put the leftover hotdogs away immediately. Lol. Oh well we are almost there!
